Oracle 11g introduces Case-sensitive passwords for database authentication. Along with this if you wish to change the password (temporarily) and reset it back to old , you will find that password field in dba_users is empty. Prior to 11g we could use following technique to change/restore password
SQL> create user amit identified by amit; User created. SQL> grant create session to amit; Grant succeeded. SQL> conn sys as sysdba Enter password: Connected. SQL> select username,password from dba_users where username='AMIT'; USERNAME PASSWORD ------------------------------ ------------------------------ AMIT 9DEC0D889E8E9A6B SQL> alter user amit identified by abc; User altered. SQL> conn amit/abc Connected. SQL> conn sys as sysdba Enter password: Connected. SQL> alter user amit identified by values '9DEC0D889E8E9A6B'; User altered. SQL> conn amit/amit Connected.
In 11g if you query password field, it will return NULL.
SQL> select username,password from dba_users where username='AMIT'; USERNAME PASSWORD ------------------------------ ------------------------------ AMIT
Let’s first see Case-sensitive password feature in 11g and then steps to change/restore passwords
SQL> create user amit identified by AMIT; User created. SQL> grant connect,resource to amit; Grant succeeded. SQL> conn amit/amit ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE. SQL> conn amit/AMIT Connected.
This behavior is controlled by “sec_case_sensitive_logon” initialization paramter. If the value is true then it will enforce case sensitive passwords
SQL> select NAME,VALUE from V$SPPARAMETER where NAME='sec_case_sensitive_logon'; NAME VALUE ---------------------------------------- -------------------- sec_case_sensitive_logon TRUE SQL> conn / as sysdba Connected. SQL> alter system set sec_case_sensitive_logon=false; System altered. SQL> conn amit/amit Connected. SQL> conn / as sysdba Connected. SQL> alter system set sec_case_sensitive_logon=true; System altered. SQL> conn amit/amit ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE. SQL> conn amit/AMIT Connected.
Now to reset the password in 11g, we need to query spare4 column in user$ table
SQL> select spare4 from user$ where name='AMIT'; SPARE4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S:2D058976AE8FAD8ECFCDB93835ACEE94C83EDE19169209155BB81FEE7DBB SQL> alter user amit identified by abc12; User altered. SQL> conn amit/abc12 Connected. SQL> conn / as sysdba Connected. SQL> alter user amit identified by values 'S:2D058976AE8FAD8ECFCDB93835ACEE94C83EDE19169209155BB81FEE7DBB'; User altered. SQL> conn amit/abc12 ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE. SQL> conn amit/AMIT Connected.
As per Metalink Note 429465.1 , view DBA_USERS has new column PASSWORD_VERSIONS rendered as follows:
decode(length(u.password),16,'10G ',NULL)||NVL2(u.spare4, '11G ' ,NULL) for example: SQL> select USERNAME, PASSWORD_VERSIONS from dba_users where rownum <5; USERNAME PASSWORD ------------------------------ -------- SYS 10G 11G SYSTEM 10G 11G OUTLN 10G 11G DIP 10G 11G
In this case it means both old and new-style hash values are available for the users, the new hash value is stored in the USER$.SPARE4 column, as long as this remains NULL it means the password has not been changed since the migration and the user will have the old case insensitive password.
SQL> create user test identified by test;
User created.
SQL> select USERNAME, PASSWORD_VERSIONS from dba_users where username in (‘AMIT’,'TEST’);
USERNAME PASSWORD
—————————— ——–
AMIT 11G
TEST 10G 11G
As I had reset password using only spare4 string, password will be case -sensitive irrespective of setting for sec_case_sensitive_logon parameter value. i.e why we see value of “11G” for user Amit.
Update
When resetting the password, we need to also query password column from user$ column if we wish to use case-insensitive feature in future. i.e In my above example I used only spare4 column value to reset the password. Now if I set sec_case_sensitive_logon=false , I will not be able to connect.
SQL> alter system set sec_case_sensitive_logon=false; System altered. SQL> conn amit/amit ERROR: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
In case we wish to use both, we need to set identified by values ‘S:spare4;password’. As I didnot use password field while resetting, I find that password field in user$ is empty. To correct it, I had to change the password again.
SQL> select password,spare4 from user$ where name='AMIT'; PASSWORD SPARE4 ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S:2D058976AE8FAD8ECFCDB93835ACEE94C83EDE19169209155BB81FEE7DBB SQL> alter system set sec_case_sensitive_logon=true; System altered. SQL> alter user amit identified by AMIT; User altered. SQL> select password,spare4 from user$ where name='AMIT'; PASSWORD SPARE4 ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9DEC0D889E8E9A6B S:F5DEBF680433864AA5A744C2368D8677A120939D083D74A2F6E99C5952AE
So to reset the password, following needs to be used.
SQL> select password,spare4 from user$ where name='AMIT'; PASSWORD SPARE4 ------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9DEC0D889E8E9A6B S:F5DEBF680433864AA5A744C2368D8677A120939D083D74A2F6E99C5952AE SQL> alter user amit identified by values 'S:F5DEBF680433864AA5A744C2368D8677A120939D083D74A2F6E99C5952AE;9DEC0D889E8E9A6B'; User altered.
Thanks to Laurent for pointing this. You can see his article for more information.You can use below code to get the password script
select 'alter user '||name||' identified by values '''||password||''';' from user$ where spare4 is null and password is not null union select 'alter user '||name||' identified by values '''||spare4||';'||password||''';' from user$ where spare4 is not null and password is not null;
